#phone bank for harris

Two hour shifts are available practically every hour of working day and early evening.

Try it once. If you really don't enjoy it no one will force you to keep calling. It's all from your own computer. They train you. There are scripts to follow. You don't HAVE to call the entire two hours if you don't want to. Also, you can stop and take breaks at any moment.

Ya'll.

Joe Biden has dropped out of the race. It most likely will be Kamala Harris as the nominee since he has endorsed her however there is still the chance of an open primary.

If Kamala is the nominee, I don't want to hear anything about her being a former DA or anything else. Those calling for Biden to drop out got what they wanted. The choice is now no longer between two 'olds'. The choice is now between Trump and whoever the Democrats choose for the nominee. And whoever that nominee is, the Democrats have to be behind them 100%.

Friendly reminder: The Democrats weren't behind Carter 100% in the 1980 election, which was one of the many reasons we got Reagan. And Reagan didn't come with the looming threat of Project 2025 and Plan 47 (or whatever it calls itself).

Side note: I don't fault Biden for stepping down. The man is 81 years old and is recovering from COVID. He even said in 2020 that he would be a transitional candidate.

Remember what is at stake in November. Remember that no matter what Trump claims about not knowing anything about Project 2025, he has met with members of the Heritage Foundation who are the ones behind 2025. Remember that Trump's team wants you not to vote (considering he and the RNC are suing Michigan gov Gretchen Whitmer for signing veterans up to vote when they go to visit the VA in Michigan.)

Hold your nose and vote Blue in November (or if you can vote earlier than that).

Did phone banking training yesterday, and made my first calls!

I only managed a few calls before I had to leave for a pre-planned engagement, and I'm still a bit uncomfortable with the process, but it feels a lot less daunting now.

I plan to make more calls today, and every day through Election Day (or until there are no more people to call).

I'd also urge other Americans to volunteer to do so if you haven't already, especially if you're living abroad and don't know how to help (in that case try Democrats Abroad).

AZ Canvassing Report: Friday

I finally got to walk around and canvass today, and it was great! We were in a neighborhood with mostly people of Mexican descent, and almost everyone was friendly and excited. Many had already voted, and several were planning to drop their ballots off tomorrow, so we gave them info on the nearest dropoff and its hours to help. I also made a new local friend: my canvassing buddy is big on several fandoms I'm into, and also is an avid reader of fanfic! So we got to geek out while traveling and walking around. So, I'm not saying you will meet your new fandom bff while doing GOTV canvassing... but I'm not saying you won't either. Seriously, if you have any energy to give this weekend, this is the time to spend it. Canvass, phone bank, setting up clipboards - reach out to your local Democrats or other group to see what you can do. You can go to Vote Save America to get connected to local volunteer opportunities.

Let's give everything we've got in this last push!

Two things that invalidate your ballot, you fucking boomer rage monsters: taking a picture of it, and scribbling on your opponents' name until you tear it like it's a high school yearbook.

(full disclosure: there are teams of people at election offices whose job it is to read every ballot that the machine does not take and "determine intent:" in other words, we could probably guess who they're actually voting for, unless we get one so damaged it gets turned over to senior officials.

Any other country in the world would determine this is invalid as fuck, tho.)

U.S. Politics: Phone Banking

Do you like cold calling complete strangers? Do you want to occasionally speak to one of those fabled undecided voters but mostly get hung up on and/or told not to call again? Do you have the kind of election anxiety that is soothed by being able to actually do something?

Consider Phone Banking for the Kamala Harris campaign!

You can find out more information by going to kamalaharris.com and clicking on the Volunteer tab at the top.

I signed up for phone banking training for the first time to help with this.

Even if you can't volunteer or donate, you can help by sharing posts with information on how to volunteer, donate, and vote (make sure it's not misinformation) so that they are viewed as widely as possible.

We've got this.

It's easy! They train you. They have a dialing app online. You don't touch your phone. (You do need to download the free Zoom app, but after the pandemic, most everyone has that.)

A laptop or computer works better than a smartphone because of the screen size. It's all onscreen, no dialing. There are scripts. You just click and talk. You see many other volunteers in the Zoom meeting. It will give you hope.

anyone thinking we gonna break zoom!?
